501 | Ananias and Sapphira paid for their sin | Acts 5:9 | justme | 213042 | ||
keliy: James 5:19 and 20, I believe might shed some light on death and some sins. I have no exact idea what sins the Father considers that death is better than letting the person go deeper into sin. However, by these verses it seems to me that is what is being said. Believers do get involved in sins that make them wander from the truth. Ananias and Sapphira did wander from the truth and paid with their human lives. They were spared spiritual death if they were genuine believers. Salvation is eternal, but even our Father in Heaven has a limit to our wandering from Him. I hope this adds some insight for you. Blessings. justme |

502 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Acts 8:37 | justme | 86636 | ||
GeorJoy: The KJV was translated as a word for word, as best they could with the best manuscripts they had at the time. The NIV is a Dynamic Equivlant translation. Which means it translates thought for thought. Wycliff, and New tribes Ministries all use this method in getting the Scripture into peoples native tongue. In some languages ther are no words to say exactally what the manuscripts say. For example ther are at least four words for love in the Greek, and only one word in English. So a longer wording of the thought behind the word is used in translating the word love. The NIV is a good version, and very good merit for a thought for thought translation. Having said that I like the Updated NASB best of all. That's just my opinion, and I do not work for Lockman, so this is just how I see it. All translations have some small problems, as there is no "perfect" translation, because mankind is not perfect and no language fits exactlly word for word. You can have confidence that any mistakes are so small that there is nothing that changes the doctrine of Salvation by Jesus Christ and Him only! Hope this added information helps. justme |

504 | Revival? | Romans | justme | 56024 | ||
Parousia: (coming or presence)nice name! Romans 12:2 True "Revival" really is intended, in my opinion, for Christians. To call a set period of meetings intended for "renewal" or reviving the backsldden or carnal Christian is the true meaning of REVIVAL. I think what the churches are trying to do is inaccurate terminology. Perhaps "Operation Outreach" would be more accurate if the purpose is to reach out to the unsaved. That's how I read and understand my Bible. No better example is the Billy Graham Crusades. In fact and deed they are crusades. What do you think about my perception of revival? agape, justme |

507 | When was the book of Romans written | Romans | justme | 80919 | ||
gasejo: Romans was written in the early spring of A.D. 57, by Paul, on his third missionary jorney. Most likely written from Corinth or Cenchera. My information came from the NASB Study Bible by Zondervan notes on Page 1632. This would be an excellent Bible to learn and Study from. The price id affordable and is a investment that will pay you spititually far more tham you spens many times over. Blessings to you. justme |

508 | Is humanity more evil today? | Romans | justme | 81055 | ||
gasejo: I see you are new to the forum, Welcome. May I ask you pose your question? This is a fairly basic question. But in kindness I will address it whit the assumption you are serious. There are more people now, thus in volume and acts of of evil have become more in volume and the general acceptance of wickedness. A few examples of acceptance of wickedness are as follows. Homosexuality accepted in some demonational churches. The blatent way television shows homosexual life as normal. Aduiltery is displayed as exciting and normal, in movies, and TV. The number of Christians who divorce, and live together before marriage, Frankly the endless list could go on for ever. Perhaps the acts of evil stil come from the same basic sinful nature we all potentialy have, but more Christians are freely joining in these sins based on God will forgive. The pre marriage pregnancy rate for Christians is reported to be a little higher than nonchristians. How many Christians have HBO or some other filthy cable or Dish network TV? There is NO WAY A CHRISTIAN CAN JUSTIFY HAVING THESE KIND OF PROGRAMS! You ask "Are there evil acts that the Bible does not address?" I think not. Humankind has just made different methods to do the same old sins. |

509 | Is "your heavenly language" Bibilcal? | Romans | justme | 92149 | ||
Searcher56: I would find it so refreshing to have someone, male or female, and say "the Holy Spirit has given me the gift of helps, how do I use it?" Paul called tongues the least desireable gift. With that in mind why does it seem tongues is the gift most often brought up? Something to think about, right? Blessings. justme |

511 | Titus and Romans:comparable introduction | Rom 1:4 | justme | 82475 | ||
Ray: I am so glad the hear from you! You are in my prayers. Now to your question. Most all of Pauls intoductions have a simular format to a degree. Just because you asked, I did count the pronouns in both introductions. In Romans, I could not come up with a number divisible by three. In Titus, yes, I think maybe. So you got me, why would I want to do the mathmatics? The reason I desired to do so was because I thought there was some significant idea you were coming up with. Now about being off base, no. Scripture speaks to each of us in ways that the Holy Spirit wants to make us aware of. I have often read a passage several times and learned something new after reading it for years. For instance, last week when I was reading what happened on that day, the last week of Jesus, one day at a time, as the day passed. I noticed something I had overlooked. The donkey Jesus rode on had to have its mother with it. That opened a new idea for my understanding of this event. Why I never paid attention to that detail before I have no idea. This was a real gem to discover for me. I hope my answer is what you expected. Sometimes I get an answer to my questions and they are way off base. I hope I got close to what you were looking for. Blessings to you Ray! justme |

512 | Megiddo, do I understand you correctly? | Rom 1:19 | justme | 91928 | ||
GeorJoy. What then do you do with 1 John 1:10? Are you suggesting sinless perfection while on earth? Yes, Jesus died for and paid the price for all our sins past, present and furture/ That does not conclude our need for confession and repentance does it? We who are saved DO sin! Am I wrong in understanding what you have said? justme |

513 | Active Homosexuals: Truly Christian? | Rom 1:21 | justme | 87043 | ||
Hank: Greetings from the fine state above yours. I am not attempting to answer your question, but have a question for you. On the Bible Answer Man last week the founder of Exodus Ministry was Hanks guest. The question was asked what happens when a homosexual who confesses his or her, sin and repents and sometime later stumbles, and repents? Are they truely saved? That was the question asked on the radio. Their answer was that most do fall off the wagon. But they are encouraged to repent and confess 1 John 1:9. I my self think this is a question I do not have solid answers for. I do look at David and see some aspects of his life I find almost humanly unforgiveable, yet God said "he is a man after my heart". Could you please give me your opinion? Thank you and God Bless. justme |

514 | Is God Sovereign in the Church today? | Rom 1:22 | justme | 168531 | ||
BradK: Greetings brother: When Dr. Pink wrote this, he proberly thought the end was near, perhaps as many do today as well. But, Scripture warns us that even the elect will blunder. Jesus said when we see things happen the time is not "yet". I am not sure if pre trib is accurate, but as I read Matthew 24, it seems we will go through a lot before Jesus returns. How can I speculate (and that's what most of pre trib is) when Jesus Himself said He did not know the time of His return? Perhaps the best thing for the question you ask is "to be ready". In reality each believer is responsible for their relationship with the Lord Christ, and their Worship and understanding of God's Sovereignty. Each of the six decades in which I have lived there has been mention of how the decades before were so much more devoted and spiritual those before us were. I have seen the Good News of Christ Jesus spread arround the world into places where no one had the ability to reach these lost peoples. Today these lost peoples groups are hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Christendom today is like the cup of water, with the water at the half way point. Depending on our view point is the cup half full or half empty? I am an optimist, and Jesus Christ has given me the reason to be optimistic about about the Believers of today. The God of the Bible is living and interactive with us today, just as much as ever before. To those who would say or preach that the true Church of Jesus Christ in the century (21st)is helpless, effeminate, weak, or thriving in sentimentality is pure balderdash. There many a presten-day pulpits that are expounding the saving Grace and Mercy to those who admit their need for forgivness and the Love of Jesus Christ. There are those who might mistake God's love for pity but the two are not the same. Pity cost little or nothing at all. Love is Jesus. Without Jesus in their life, then people surely are to be pitied. Love cost all Christ had to offer, and that effect is an awe-inspiring experience of reverence. "What can be done?" you ask? Renew our first Love, become more like Jesus everyday. Your reaction to my thoughts? Blessings. Justme |

515 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | justme | 77154 | ||
Sniper: Blessings and peace to you. You wrote this on Feb 18 and today is March 3. You really sparked a lot of enthusastic and well thought notes and responces from this wonderful forum. I sincerely hope you have seen just how much the forun can relate to just about most problems people face today. The caring and concern for others is just one example of the genuine love and concern the forum gives to those seeking answers to lifes questions. Ultimately the final reality is that the LORD Almighty is loving, merciful, and just and fair. There is no doubt that such an awasome Creator of all that was, is, and yet to be, could be anything but pure and loving beyond our imagination could behold. There is no posiblity that the innocent unborn or child would be condemnend to eternal hell. Just the Holy Spirit within us bares witness to that. Whoever whould say that there is not an age of mential, and enlightment accountabity has wrong theology and fails to understand our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, those souls in such states ore in the arms of Jesus our Lord. justme |

516 | Why did Jesus have to... | Rom 5:8 | justme | 189197 | ||
invisibledragon: Welcome to the Bible Study Forum. Your question is one which we hear from God seekers, would that be your quest? In John 3:16 there it clearly gives the reason, "for God so loved the world He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perrish, but have life everlasting." Jesus willingly became our prise for our sine. By His blood shed on the cross Jesus paid the price for our sins. If we choose to follow Jesus and make Him Lord of our life, we will not suffer hell for our sins, but will be saved by the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are not forced to believe this , or follow Jesus. That choice is for each of us to make. Have you made a choice yet? justme |

517 | IS BAPTISM IS REQUIRED | Rom 6:3 | justme | 193616 | ||
Telson: Welcome to the Study Bile Forum! Your question is a little hard to understand. Do you mean you were once before baptized? Perhaps you want to be re-baptized for some reason? If you could be a little more clear it would sure help to give you a Biblical answer rather than a shot in the dark answer that we might think you wanted, Thanks. justme |

Passerby: Thank you fror the kind words and understanding of whole situation. It is clear to me that you have researched the web site and are fimular with the counseling that he has used and promoted on this Bible Forum. I am impressed with your defending his legal status and his intregrity. It is clear that you have made a wise choice to become an expert in only a few days with the Forum. I noticed that some of the more nieve and less informed forum mmembers have responded to your remarks as well. Please forfive their ignorance as they have only been with the forum from almost the start. Your valued imput and opinions are needed as we are but ignorant and babbling about something we were clearly just blowing hot air about. Please forgive me for my part as I have much to learn to mature into the wisdon you so clearly have risen and obtained. Please be patient with me as I am sure God is not done with me yet. Thank you for the encouragement and blessings that you have brought to my day. justme |

520 | do u ask for the holy ghost? | Rom 8:26 | justme | 59894 | ||
kimmy: There is really is a mistranslation when we say Holy Ghost. Ther correct translation is Holy Spirit. The only time the the word Ghost is used is when Jesus entered the room where Thomas and the rest were hiding, after the resurrection and Jesus suddenly appeared, the word Ghost is used there, as if to say eek a Ghost. To answer your question, you receive the Holy Spirit from the second Jesus becomes your Lord. The Holy Spirit indwells every true believer. The gifts He gives are just exactly that, gifts. You can't ask for a gift because then it is not a gift! There are those who would disagree with me and say speaking in tongues is proof you have the Holy Spirit. However, taken in context speaking in tongues, is a gift and not all of us have that. I personally believe it is a gift given far less than some think. I have never ever heard someone say they had the gift of helps, or giving. Why not? I think it has to do with forcing people to speak in odd words they do not understand to prove their salvation. agape. justme |
